georgia map The scene of repeated struggles for control between Spain and England throughout it's early history, the Georgia question was finally settled by British general James Oglethorpe, who defeated Spanish invaders in the Battle of Bloody Marsh in 1742.

A center of Confederate military activity during the American Civil War, Georgia suffered at the hands of Union general William T. Sherman who burned Atlanta to the ground in 1864 before cutting a 60-mile-wide path of destruction in his "march to the sea", finally capturing Savannah a month later.

Today, Atlanta has emerged as a major national communications and transportation hub, while still holding onto its agricultural roots.

As a major tourist mecca, the state offers a variety of attractions for visitors ranging from the Cumberland Island National Seashore to the architectural splendor of Savannah.

Cosmopolitan Atlanta offers sophisticated nightlife, historic treasures, and has recently become home to the Georgia Aquarium, the world's largest.

Georgia's annual rite of spring, the fabled Masters Golf Tournament, takes place in Augusta.
